After four and a half months of relative peace at the plush headquarters of Bikernet, there was a wild pounding and screaming in the back alley. Sin Wu, who looks more luscious than ever, pulled the security alarm and got out of bed with the new blonde who was also startled, but for some reason could not hear the clamoring.
Tight security at Bikernet is administered by Lucky the office mascot, who responded immediately by dragging the head and guts of a recently killed gopher into the headquarters. Sin reported that the face at the window was more terrifying than a Stephen King character. She called the Harbor Division of the Los Angeles Police department, but no one was in the office due to a call they got from a shipping company in Houston, Texas. Apparently something occurred on a ship from Altamira, Mexico, that has so stymied the authorities in Texas that they’ve called in backup from other ports. They’ve also gotten complaints about brothel-type activities on the corner of 19th street in San Pedro, which just so happens to match the address of Bikernet. That explains the lack of response. We better get to the news:
ELVIS PRESLEY’S LEGENDARY GUITARIST SCOTTY MOORE TO HEADLINE HARLEY-DAVIDSON PARTY AT LAUGHLIN RIVER RUN–Scotty Moore, the legendary guitarist who accompanied Elvis throughout the ’50s, will headline the Southern California Harley-Davidson Dealers Association’s three-day Harley-Davidson Party at this year’s Laughlin River Run. An 80-by-180-foot tent in the Flamingo Laughlin parking lot will be the headquarters for the official Harley festivities on April 25-27. Admission is free for all festivities.
The tent will also be the official Laughlin River Run headquarters for the Harley Owners Group, which will distribute a limited-edition HOG event pin to all HOG members on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Scotty Moore will perform April 26 at 8:30 p.m., backed by the Mike Eldred Trio. Scotty was Elvis’s guitarist on record and in concert from their first meeting at Scotty’s house on July 4, 1954, until Elvis was drafted in 1958. Scotty was even the band’s first manager. Now 70 years old, Scotty continues to tour the United States and the United Kingdom and was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

BIKERNET’S MESSAGE FROM THE MASTER–Bandit will be training again with Richard Bustillo of the school of International Martial Arts and Boxing next week. The master, if we are blessed, will afford us bits of wisdom from time to time. Here is one item to ponder: Once a man was traveling and wanted to know how far it was to the next village. He stopped to ask an old man sitting by the road how far it was to the next town. But the old man said nothing. He asked again and again, but the quiet old man remained completely silent. He gave up on getting an answer and went on his way. Suddenly, he heard the old man shout, “Half a day.”
Angry, the man went back to the old man and complained, “Why didn’t you tell me before when I asked you?”
The old man looked at him and calmly replied, “How could I know how long it would take you until I saw how fast you could walk?”
Before you can know how long it will take to advance in training, you must step forward and begin the arduous process of discipline and agility.
Richard is a member of the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame and a Black Belt Hall of Fame and a Filipino Martial Arts Hall of Fame member. He gives seminars on the art of being yourself, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, the art of respecting others, the art of developing your own training techniques, the art of having an open mind, and the art of knowing the truth in practical and functional martial arts.
